Call for PapersThe Cultural Mediations program at Carleton Universityannounces a call for papers for its annual graduateconference to be held on campus in Ottawa on May 4th,2006. Details are available on the conference web siteat http://www.carleton.ca/interface/.

The Interface colloquium has been held the last twoyears as an interdisciplinary forum for graduateresearchers and scholars. Its broadest aim is toexplore the ideological, epistemological, ethical, andaesthetic consequences of questioning andtransgressing traditional borders between disciplinaryfields. This year's theme, "Ruptures," can beapproached in light of Michel Foucault's claim in TheArchaeology of Knowledge that sites of rupture anddiscontinuity should not be explained away in theinterests of progress and objectivity, but insteadtreated as the "conditions of possibility" that giverise to knowledge in the first place. Presentationsdealing with any aspect of this year's theme arewelcomed in the streams of Literary Studies, VisualCulture, Musical Culture, New Technologies, HistoricalRepresentation or any other related discipline ordiscourse. Some possible presentation topics includebut are by no means limited to:
